The Eidolon - arranged by LManReview by mahoney, 30/09/2004 Hey? Isn't this Depeche Mode? I think LMan got all the good parts from Depeche Mode's glory days, and put them in this remix. Well done, and clearly enjoyable! |

Comic Bakery (Larger than Pop Boyband mix) - arranged by PRESS PLAY ON TAPEReview by mahoney, 28/01/2003 You're the best! I just love you, from the deepest of my heart! You've made my day, no, you've made my summer sunny sunny you're in my heart, ha ha haaa ha! π This remix should be the mandatory first one to listen to for _any_ person visiting the realms of C64-remixing! Not everybody will enjoy the style or the performance, but this is a remix that _everybody_ get feelings for or against. And it is _the remix_ that is closest to real life, where at least I get a feeling that we C64RMX-nerds maybe have a little part of this thing called the world! If you, yes -you- reading this review haven't seen the video that PressPlayOnTape did for this song, then HURRY!!! Find it, get it, see it and show it to your grandmother before it's too late! Thanks SΓΈren and Theo, this made my summer a bright and shiny one! / Pex Mahoney Tufvesson |

Sidology Episode 3 - arranged by machinae supremacyReview by mahoney, 28/01/2003 Machinae does their thing, once more. This time, harder rock than their Gianna Sisters-remix, which is _the benchmark_ for hard rock mixes. The technical skills and the great sound/mastering makes this remix outstanding when it comes to Technical Impression. However, not being the greatest fan of screaming guitars, this ones gives me a headache after a few minutes.: / This Sidology Episode #3 gives me the same feeling as movie The Lord of the Rings did: No pauses, some really good parts skipped, no time for thinking, compressed into a raving, thrilling, compact attack where every second is a matter of life and death. Please let me breathe, and let my ears rest! |

Nemesis the Warlock - arranged by o2Review by mahoney, 28/01/2003 Agree with Tomsk, this is fantastic stuff. O2's best remix, imho! Starts slow, in a neat, nice, simplistic manner, grows a little, grows some more, gets bigger, even bigger and then suddenly at 3:12 those lovely tingles at the back of my neck sends these awesomely (!) wonderful feelings to every cell in my whole body! The one, single arpeggio at 4:49 is a great detail, pinned by a genius! Too soon, the fadeout comes and I feel Why is this remix soooo short?, and wondering how the -frog- those six minutes could pass so quick? If I could bring only one remix from r:k:o to a deserted island, this would be my choise! π |

Zoids - arranged by o2Review by mahoney, 28/01/2003 Carsten, excellent lead instruments, a great atmosphere and a 100% performance makes this an outstanding remix. Though, if I had to rank your mixes, Nemesis the Warlock takes the first place. It has a few more surprises and a natural evolution, where this Zoids-remix has a more constant, steady flow of entangling sounds and notes! Great music, by a great remixer! π |

Cobra (skyline remix) - arranged by Thomas DetertReview by mahoney, 28/01/2003 This could be the main selling song on any Synthesizer greatest -CD of early 90'ies. Jan Hammer, well, he's there somewhere, and boy have you done a great piece of art here, Thomas! Being one of my very favourite SIDs, I'm just drooling here, listening, dreaming and having a very good time! Some spots reveal that it's a sampled guitar, but turning off the nitpicker in me those few seconds, I really love this remix! The drums are calming, soothing, just wonderful! π |

Firelord - Symphonic - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by mahoney, 28/01/2003 Glyn, you've made a great SID-song sound fantastic! You know how to avoid all pitfalls and trouble that samples orchestral sounds can give you, and I bow in respect. I just wonder how many sleepless nights and days you spent tameing that orchestra, Glyn! Great work! π |

Great Giana Sisters - arranged by machinae supremacyReview by mahoney, 28/01/2003 The first time I heard this, I thought This is too good to be true!. And that feeling hasn't left, it's still there. Love at first sight! A good balance between screaming guitars and music (which might give a little hint of what I generally feel about hard rock) makes this song _the best_! π Thanks for the ride, Machinae Supremacy! |
